Description: Ye-Olde Photos Collection West Roxbury, Massachusetts Railroad Station (1955) Greater Boston neighborhood. Type 1 photograph "West Roxbury R.R. Station. Needham Line upper level from R.R. Bridge LaGrange St., West Roxbury - January 3, 1955." The Boston and Providence Railroad (B&P) opened a branch line from Forest Hills to Dedham (where it connected with the B&P's preexisting branch to Dedham via Readville) via West Roxbury on July 14, 1849.[2] South Street (Roslindale), Central (Bellevue), West Roxbury, and Spring Street stations all opened with the branch.[3] The New Haven Railroad, successor to the B&P, opened the Needham cutoff on November 4, 1906 from West Roxbury to Needham Junction, allowing trains from the former New York and New England Railroad to reach Boston without needing to use the Boston and Albany Railroad's Highland branch. Service to Dedham via West Roxbury ended in 1940, leaving West Roxbury an intermediate station on the commuter lines to Needham and West Medway. The entire Needham line was closed from 1979 to 1987 while the Southwest Corridor was reconstructed. During that time, most of the stations (including West Roxbury) were renovated for accessibility. This is a stunning photograph of the West Roxbury - Boston Massachusetts Railroad Station taken in 1955. The image captures the essence of the station and its surroundings, making it a great addition to any collection. The photograph is of high quality and is perfect for anyone interested in transportation and railroadiana in Norfolk County Mass. Ma. The image is a Type 1 photo and is sure to impress anyone who sees it. It is a great piece of history and would make a wonderful conversation starter. This photograph is perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates the beauty of vintage transportation memorabilia.
